Los Angeles
The very name connotes elegance in home electronics: The Granada Hills.
Really. And an early American TV at that, back in the days when television sets were supposedly to look like fine furniture instead of big black boxes. And if you’re really fancy, you might want the Palmdale.

Didn’t Victor Mature own a big appliance store somewhere in L.A?

These brought back many memories. My father, started our family’s chain of 34 retail stores, called, Tommy Crosson’s PLATT DISCOUNT STORES. We were the biggest advertiser in the Mirror in the 50’s.
Victor Mature, to my knowledge, never owned an appliance store.
Charlie Nicholson and Harry Dorn were friendly (?) competitors.
–Thanks for sharing.
